There has only been one item, in your toolbox, that has been featured the most in the comics world, and that is the hammer.  So this week let’s get hammered and Pick 5. #5 Justin Hammer Justin Hammer is a weapons and technology manufacturer.  Instead of working towards world peace,...

My recent Pick 5 focused on Canadian Superheroes.  Since Independence Day just recently passed, I got thinking of heroes who fought for “Old Glory”.  Here is my list of American Patriotic Superheroes. #5 Iron Patriot The Iron Patriot was Norman Osborn.  Osborn replaced Tony...

In honour of Canada Day, I decided to choose 5 Canadian Superheroes. #5 Scott Pilgrim This bass playing, video-gaming, vanquisher of evil exes lives in Toronto.  He had to fight 7 evil exes of the woman he loves, Ramona Flowers. #4 The Guardian The Guardian (or Vindicator or Weapon Alpha) is...

We don’t focus on upcoming books enough here at Comic Book Daily so for the last Pick Five of the month I’ll be looking at the top July 2011 collections that are supposed to ship.  It’s a solid month with a ton of great product.  Descriptions in italics are from the...

Don’t get me wrong here; I want the new DC to be a huge success. There will be 52 new #1s this September and even the biggest optimist at DC doesn’t expect all 52 to last out even a year. So here’s hoping the 47 not on my list all make it to issue#1000, well 900 anyway. Anyway here are...

With the recent release of X-Men First Class (which features two cameos), I got thinking about cameo appearances in our favourite Super Hero movies.  Easily there could be a Pick 5 list on just Stan Lee’s appearances alone (hmm… maybe a future Pick 5 there).  I have been...

Charlton was a great comic publisher that gave us a good 50 year run. The company is synonymous with names like Steve Ditko, Pat Boyette and it helped launch the careers of John Byrne, Dennis O’Neal, Jim Aparo and many others. Charlton first stopped the presses in 1984 but fired them up...

As we all know, Super Heroes (and comic characters) are pop culture icons.  It only makes sense that these characters would show up in places other than comic books.  Here are 5 songs that feature Super Heroes.  There are lots of songs that feature Super Heroes as well.  Feel free to add...

5.  Dr. Doom That’s right team, in addition to being a megalomaniacal  snappy dresser, Victor Von Doom is also well versed in the black arts. In fact, he is so knowledgeable that he was even in the running for Sorcerer Supreme once Dr. Strange gave up the mantle. A clever mix of...

On a previous Pick 5, five “mullet-tastic” hair-dos were highlighted.  This week I was reading the Avengers and X-Men crossover event from 1993 Bloodties, and realized this issue has a lot of mullets in it.  Like… a lot.  More than your average comic book cross over. ...

Italian Comics I visited Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia in the summer of 2009. I have relatives all over the region and, like the geek I am, I talked comics wherever I went (often while pounding back moonshine brandy made from plums). It quickly became clear the comic loving people in these...

I thought it was time to buy another belt buckle. I love them. I have a bunch of different styles and switch them regularly. I started searching online and found lots of really cool looking belt buckles. Here are some of my favourites I found.

I'm a huge Darwyn Cooke fan and was recently perusing my Absolute New Frontier, marveling at some of the splash pages. Here are five I picked at random, in order of appearance.

There have been a lot of comic book properties that have been shown on the small screen, here are 5 of my favorites.  I left animated series off the list, just because they could make up a great list on their own. #5: Greatest American Hero OK, I know what you are thinking “That...

Welcome to another installment of Pick Five, where one of our writers picks five of whatever comic related “fill in the blank” that tickles their fancy. Monkeys are awesome. And so are ninjas. So this Pick Five really needs no preamble. 5. Zen The Intergalactic Ninja The idea of an alien...
